MasukChloe came home a little after ten with a guy I’d never seen before.
Tall, loud laugh, hand already on her lower back when they walked through the door. She introduced him as Nate. He said hey, eyes flicking over me once, then followed her straight upstairs to her room. The door shut. A second later the lock clicked.
Elias and I were in the kitchen. We looked at each other. Neither of us said anything.
Ten minutes later the sounds started.
Not loud at first. Just the low creak of her bed frame. Then Chloe’s voice — soft, then sharper. A moan she tried to muffle. Nate’s deeper voice saying something we couldn’t make out. The rhythm of the bed picking up.
I was leaning against the counter with a glass of water I wasn’t drinking. Elias stood on the other side of the island, jaw tight, eyes dark. Every new sound from upstairs made the air between us thicker.
Chloe cried out once, clear enough that there was no mistaking what was happening. The bedframe started hitting the wall in a steady, wet-sounding rhythm.
Elias exhaled hard through his nose.
I set the glass down. My hands were shaking.
He walked around the island slowly, like he was giving me time to move away. I didn’t. When he reached me he caged me in with both arms, mouth close to my ear.
“You hear that?” he muttered. “My daughter getting fucked right above us.”
I nodded, throat dry.
His hand slid under my shirt and cupped my breast, thumb dragging over my nipple until it hardened. I bit my lip. Upstairs Chloe moaned again, louder. The bed kept slamming.
Elias’s other hand shoved into my shorts. He found me already soaked. Two fingers pushed inside without warning. I gasped and gripped the edge of the counter.
“Quiet,” he whispered. “They’ll hear.”
He fucked me with his fingers in the same rhythm as the bed upstairs — slow when they slowed, harder when Nate started really giving it to her. I could hear how wet I was. The soft, filthy sound of his fingers moving in and out mixed with Chloe’s moans through the ceiling.
“She’s taking it so well,” Elias said against my neck, voice rough. “And look at you. Dripping all over my hand just from listening to her get used.”
I whimpered. He curled his fingers and rubbed that spot inside me until my knees went weak. His thumb found my clit and pressed in tight circles. I was already close. The combination of the sounds upstairs and his hands was too much.
He pulled his fingers out right before I came and wiped them across my mouth.
“Taste.”
I did. He watched me lick them clean, eyes heavy.
Then he spun me around, shoved my shorts and panties down to mid-thigh, and dropped to his knees. His mouth was on me before I could process it — tongue flat and greedy, sucking on my clit while two fingers pushed back inside. I stuffed my fist against my mouth and tried not to make a sound.
Upstairs Chloe was getting louder. The headboard was hitting the wall in a hard, steady beat. Nate’s voice came through clearer now, low and dirty.
Elias ate me like he was starving. Messy. Wet. His free hand gripped my ass hard enough to bruise while he fucked me with his tongue and fingers. I came hard and silent, thighs shaking around his head, the orgasm punching through me while my best friend got fucked twenty feet away.
He stood up fast, breathing hard. His cock was straining against his pants. I reached for it on instinct. He caught my wrist, then guided my hand there himself, letting me feel how hard he was.
“Stroke it,” he ordered under his breath.
I did. Pulled him out and worked him with both hands while he braced one palm on the cabinet above my head. He was leaking, thick and hot against my fingers. Every time Chloe moaned upstairs his hips jerked into my grip.
He was close. I could feel it. I dropped to my knees without being told and took him into my mouth. He cursed quietly and fisted my hair, not thrusting, just holding me there while I sucked him. The wet sounds of my mouth mixed with the wetter sounds coming through the ceiling.
He pulled me off right before he finished.
“Not yet,” he said, voice strained. “Not while she’s still going.”
We stayed like that — me on my knees, him above me, both of us listening to Chloe and Nate finish in a series of sharp, broken sounds. The bed finally went still. Muffled talking. A soft laugh from Chloe.
Elias looked down at me, cock still hard and wet from my mouth, eyes almost black.
“Go upstairs,” he said quietly. “Lock your door. If I follow you right now I won’t stop.”
I stood on shaky legs, pulled my shorts up, and did what he said.
I locked the door.
But I left the light on a long time after, listening to the quiet house, thighs still slick, the taste of him still on my tongue.
We hadn’t fucked.
Somehow that made it worse.
I woke before him.Gray light was leaking around the curtains. His arm was still heavy across my waist, his breath steady against the back of my neck. For a few minutes I just lay there, cataloguing the aches — the dull soreness between my thighs, the faint bruise-tenderness on my wrists where he’d pinned them, the leftover heat in my face from everything I’d admitted the night before.I’d told him.And he was still here.That fact sat in my chest in a complicated way. Not relief exactly. Not safety either. Something closer to the feeling of standing on a ledge and realizing the drop hadn’t taken me after all.He stirred behind me. His hand flexed once on my stomach, then slid up to rest between my breasts.“You’re awake,” he said, voice rough with sleep.“Yeah.”“How long.”“A few minutes.”He made a low sound and pulled me more firmly against him. I felt him hardening slowly against the curve of my ass. Neither of us moved for a while. The quiet felt different from the night before
Elias’s flight landed at 8:40.I knew because I tracked it. I knew because I’d spent the entire day cleaning an already clean house, changing sheets that didn’t need changing, and rehearsing versions of the truth that all sounded equally bad. By the time the garage door rumbled open at 9:15, my hands were cold and my pulse was doing something uneven in my throat.He walked in with his bag over one shoulder and the tired posture of a man who’d spent two days in meetings. He set the bag down, loosened his tie, and looked at me standing in the kitchen like he’d been counting the hours too.“Hey,” he said.“Hey.”He crossed the space, cupped the back of my neck, and kissed me. Slow. Thorough. The kind of kiss that felt like checking for changes. When he pulled back his eyes searched my face.“You okay?”“Yeah.”He didn’t look convinced. He poured himself a glass of water, drank half of it, and leaned against the counter.“House smells like lemon,” he said.“I cleaned.”“Thoroughly.”I nod
Elias left early for a two-day work trip.He told me the night before, voice even, eyes steady on mine while he packed a small bag. “I’ll be back Thursday night. Don’t do anything you’ll have to confess when I walk through the door.”I nodded. He kissed me hard enough to leave my mouth tingling, then left.The house felt too quiet after the garage door closed.By noon the quiet had turned into restlessness. I told myself I was just bored. That the ache he’d left between my legs the day before was the only reason my skin felt too tight. I lasted until one-thirty before I picked up my phone.Jake answered on the second ring.“Didn’t think I’d hear from you,” he said.“Are you free?”A pause. “When?”“Now. And… I might not be alone.”Another pause, longer. Then a low, interested sound. “Text me the address again.”I did. Then I opened the conversation with Jenna.**Riley:** Are you working today?**Jenna:** Off at two. Why?**Riley:** Come over after. Someone else will be here too.She d
We stayed in bed most of the morning.Not talking much. Not sleeping either. His hand rested on the curve of my hip under the sheet, thumb moving in slow, idle strokes like he was reminding himself I was still there. Every so often I’d feel his eyes on me. When I looked back he didn’t look away.Around eleven he finally spoke.“Get up. Shower. Then come back here.”I did what he said. The shower was quick. I didn’t bother with clothes after. When I walked back into the bedroom he was sitting up against the headboard, sheet pooled around his waist, watching me with that same unreadable focus from earlier.“Come here.”I climbed onto the bed. He caught my wrist before I could settle beside him and pulled me forward until I was straddling his thighs again. His hands slid up my sides, slow, mapping skin he already knew by heart.“Last night I made you wait,” he said. “This morning I made you ask. Now you’re going to show me you meant it.”My pulse kicked. “How?”“You’re going to ride me u
Morning came slow and gray.I hadn’t really slept. The light in the guest room had stayed on all night like a punishment that didn’t need raising its voice. My body felt heavy. My mouth tasted like I’d been clenching my jaw for hours. Somewhere down the hall I heard movement — a drawer, the soft sound of feet on hardwood — then nothing.I got up.I didn’t put on clothes. He’d seen me naked the night before when he sent me up here. Clothes felt like armor I hadn’t earned. I walked down the hallway on bare feet and stopped outside his bedroom. The door was half open. I pushed it the rest of the way.Elias was sitting on the edge of the bed in dark sweatpants, no shirt, elbows on his knees. He looked up when I entered. His expression didn’t soften. It didn’t harden either. He just watched me like he’d been waiting for this exact moment and had already decided how it would go.I closed the door behind me.For a second neither of us spoke. The air between us felt thick enough to choke on.
The house felt different after he left.Bigger. Quieter. Like the walls were listening.I stayed in his bedroom for a long time, sitting on the edge of the bed in my underwear, replaying the look on his face when I said Jenna’s name. Not explosive anger. Something colder. More deliberate. The kind of anger that planned.Eventually I forced myself up. Showered. The hot water did nothing to loosen the knot in my chest. I stood under the spray until my skin turned pink, then got out and stared at myself in the mirror. Same face. Same body. Everything underneath rearranged.I spent the day moving through the house like a guest. Made coffee I didn’t drink. Tried to watch something and failed. Checked the clock every twenty minutes. Chloe texted around noon asking if I wanted to meet her after her shift. I told her I wasn’t feeling well. She sent a sad-face emoji and said she’d bring soup tomorrow.The hours crawled.By four I was restless in a way that felt physical. I cleaned the kitchen
